The concrete slabs will have a tan hue and will be textured to resemble sand and pebbles, he said, noting that concrete could last a century — rather than three or four decades like the existing wood planks.

The study will help determine what material should be used for other parts of the boardwalk in need of being fixed, although Abramson said the goal is to keep wood walkways in Coney Island’s amusement area.

Geoffrey Croft, of the nonprofit New York City Park Advocates, said it appears Brighton Beach is being “singled out over a maintenance issue.”

“It’s no longer a boardwalk, it’s a sidewalk,” he added.

Croft also expressed concern that the cement might be too hot to walk on barefoot during the peak summer season.
